This week on the Rockonteurs podcast, we are back after the summer break and we head to the Design Museum in London. Opening in September is a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the iconic and influential Blitz - "the club that shaped the 80s". It was a hotbed of music, fashion, and culture in the late 70s and early 80s that helped influence the entire decade.

We meet up with Boy George to talk about the club, the scene it shaped and its lasting impact, that is still felt today.

The Design Museum exhibition on the Blitz Club opens on September 20th and runs until the spring of 2026.

They also discuss other infamous missing guitars some of which have never been seen again and some of which have remarkably been found including the very guitar Gary played ‘True' on at Live Aid that was “missing” for years!
